Instruction Time
Students miss 490 hours of general instruction time over a four year period, at Cedar High School, because of Late Start Wednesdays and XLTs (advisory period). This is after 45 minutes a week have been taken out for assemblies etc! This is based on 32 weeks a year. We short-changed our kids!
No amount of collaboration, faculty meetings, department meetings, etc. can make up for the face-to-face instruction time that has been taken from our precious youth. I taught for 39 years without late start and 4 years with it.
I know that collaboration, meetings, intervention and such, can be done at other times; because we did it! I will work to see this secondary teaching time restored.
Local Decision Making
A firm believer in the 10th Amendment of the Constitution, I will work to keep as many decisions regarding education at the
LOCAL LEVEL.
I was born and raised in Iron County and know the values upon which this county was built.
I will work to preserve and enhance the values of hard work, integrity and transparency in this district.
Our youth are the best and they deserve the best. A vote for Jeff Corry is a vote for local values in education.
Public Input
I have been attending the regular 4:00 PM School Board Meeting since January 2019. The Public Input section used to be a regular part of the meeting. For the last few months the public Input section has not been held.
I propose that public input be reinstitued immediately. We need to hear from those that the board represents. Civility and decorum must be expectations during public input.
I am definitely in favor of moving the board meeting to a time more convenient for the public. Working parents should be able to attend Public School Board Meetings.
